A Beginning Lyrics
The silence dominates
Divining resolutions from my hands; lines drawn in the sand...
But my volition's wry
My temperance twisted faced with failing light
Nothing in my sight
If I fall into the ocean
Send my soul into the sea
Will these reflections trouble me?
Will I dream a final dream...?
I sense the silhouette who's standing vigil growing very sore...
Just one moment more...
...Before I close the curtain; fate uncertain; spirit to the dark; endlessly apart
Can I fall into the ocean?
Send my soul into the sea?
No distant echoes haunting me
No further phantoms will I see; this silence held eternally...
But what if the silence is broken by the ones you've loved?
Incredibly present with heavenly breath to wake you up
With nothing left to poison a portrait of who I've become
Only elation remains, protecting us from this never ending night
Dear apparition, while my senses last
Is absolution far too much to ask?
Will you forgive a truly troubled past?
The silver lining still remains
The sights I've left to see
So trust that with this end, a new beginning's waiting patiently...
Divining resolutions from my hands; lines drawn in the sand...
But my volition's wry
My temperance twisted faced with failing light
Nothing in my sight
Send my soul into the sea
Will these reflections trouble me?
Will I dream a final dream...?
Just one moment more...
...Before I close the curtain; fate uncertain; spirit to the dark; endlessly apart
Send my soul into the sea?
No distant echoes haunting me
No further phantoms will I see; this silence held eternally...
Incredibly present with heavenly breath to wake you up
With nothing left to poison a portrait of who I've become
Only elation remains, protecting us from this never ending night
Is absolution far too much to ask?
Will you forgive a truly troubled past?
The silver lining still remains
The sights I've left to see
So trust that with this end, a new beginning's waiting patiently...

This is the end of the line for The Dear Hunter, as he drowns himself in the river to escape the mob and drowns. In this song, he is thinking about the afterlife, and the song picks up when he begins to think of heaven and seeing the ones he loves again, however it is implied at the end of the song that, in this story, there is no afterlife, as a sound plays (which can only be believed to be the boy's life flashing before his eyes before he dies) followed by just the sound of water with a somber piano tune that had been heard various times throughout the series (mainly in act II), implying that the boy had drowned, and is now dead.
